Course summary
Have you qualified as an accountant with the professional bodies within the last five years (or have additional relevant experience) and want to advance your career with a Masters qualification? Promoting integration between professional practice and theory, the credits from your prior learning as a qualified accountant can fast-track you onto our MSc in Professional Accounting. The programme entails completion of a module in Quantitative Research Methods, which will prepare you for an independent project. This will be made available remotely, allowing you to complete as a distance learner if you are unable to attend Swansea University. Offering further flexibility, our MSc Professional Accounting offers two entry points in each academic year - May and September. With our MSc Professional Accounting you will draw on local, regional and national associations and networks and the breadth of research, teaching and practical expertise within our teaching team will enrich your professional development.
